Cards

Term
skin/dermal preparations
Definition
-primarily used to treat skin infections/conditions
-goal-good penetration and retention
Term
triangle
Definition
-physiochemical properties of the drug
-condition of the skin
-characterisitics of the base
Term
3 skin layers
Definition
-epidermis
-dermis
-subcutaneous fat
-function is to protect against water loss, UV penetration, microorganisms, and penetration of external agents
Term
stratum corneum
Definition
-primary barrier to skin
-over epidermis
-dead epidermal cells, partially desiccated
-40% protein, 40% water, lipids
-contains an emulsifed mixture on surface containing seat, sebum, and epidermal cells
-acts as semi-permeable membrane for drug passage
-passive diffusion for small molecules
Term
drug effects on skin surface
Definition
-cleansing,surface microbes, protective
-sunscreen, zinc oxide, soaps
Term
drug effects within stratum corneum
Definition
-moisturizing, softening of skin
-keratolytic agents-sluffing (shedding) of cells (salicyclic acid for psoriasis)
-can serve as a reservoir for drugs
Term
systemic drug effect
Definition
-transdermal patches
-nicotene, estradiol
Term
rate of drug penetration through stratum corneum
Definition
-drug concentration
-aqueous solubility
-o/w coefficient (skin/product)
-passes easily through epidermis and dermis for systemic absorption
-topically applied drugs not easily measured
-passive diffusion for small molecules
Term
dm/dt (rate of drug passing through the skin) (flux)
Definition
DCoK/h
Term
D
Definition
diffusion coefficient
Term
Co
Definition
concentration of drug in the donor solution/ointment
Term
K
Definition
partition coefficient (how well moves through barrier)
Term
h
Definition
thickness of membrane
Term
lag in drug release profile due to
Definition
absorption
Term
emolliency and occlusive effect
Definition
-dependent upon base (paste>oleaginous>hydrophilics)
-occlusive dressing
Term
occlusive dressing
Definition
-hydrophilic ointment with saran wrap
-prevents water loss, increases hydration of stratum corneum
-increase passage of drug through skin
Term
skin stripping
Definition
removing skin layer with adhesive tape
Term
diffusion cell (Franz cell)
Definition
-skin or membrane barrier
-donor (drug) with receiver compartments (skin)
-measure rate and extent of drug passage
-animal studies (Rabbit>rat>swine>man)
Term
increases in drug absorption
Definition
-occlusive dressing-increase temp, swelling of horny layer, drug can pass easily between cells
Term
penetration enhancers
Definition
-direct effect on skin
-*hydrates or disrupts lipoprotein matrix (surfactants/solvents)
Term
primary sites of application and absorption of opthalmic
Definition
-cornea and conjunctival sac
Term
ophthalmic prep absorption limited to
Definition
-time on cornea (tearing)
-small SA
-natural barrier to absorption
Term
ophthalmic ointmets
Definition
-better retained then drops
-cleared 0.5% per minute
Term
ophthalmic solutions
Definition
-cleared 16% per minute
Term
desirable qualities for ophthalmic ointment bases
Definition
-non-irritating
-able to diffuse readily out of ointment
-softening point at body temp
Term
common ophthalmic ointment bases
Definition
-white petrolatum
-liquid pet (mineral oil)
-lanolin
-gels: PEG and mineral oil
Term
ophthalmic ointment requirements
Definition
-*sterility
-add antimicrobial preservative (parabens, benzakonium chloride)
Term
steam sterilization
Definition
cannot penetrate ointment
Term
terminal sterilization
Definition
not viable
Term
ophthalmic packaging
Definition
-dictated by USP
-collapsible tubes with long tip
Term
ophthalmic application
Definition
-hold tip near eyelid without touching eye
-patient's head tilted back
-hold eye lid away from eye
-apply between eyelid and eyeball
-apply 1/4 to 1/2 inch ribbon?
-patient to close eye
-apply at night
Term
nasal ointments and gels
Definition
-primarily for localized effects
-mucous membranes and tissues
-systemic absorption through tissues
-ex. IMITREX, NICOTROL, FLUMIST
Term
rectal preparation types
Definition
-astringents
-protectants
-anesthetics
-anti-inflammatory
Term
rectal ointment bases
Definition
-PEG,emulsion creams, white petrolatum
-antimicrobial preservatives needed
Term
rectal oleaginous bases may
Definition
-stain clothing
-have applicator tip
Term
vaginal preparations
Definition
-creams,ointments,gels
-for local use
-antimicrobial testing
-tubes with applicator
-reccommended for night
-creams over oleaginous
-adjusted pH to prevent irritation
Term
vaginal prep uses
Definition
-infections, endometrial atrophy, contraception
Term
rectal prep uses
Definition
-inflammation and pain of hemorrhoids
